In a light-hearted video, the Mumbai Indians coaching staff, including head coach Mark Boucher, batting coach Kieron Pollard, and fielding coach James Pemment, unveiled some amusing and surprising off-field quirks of their star players.
Batting coach Pollard exposed Tim David’s frequent forgetfulness, leading to anxious moments when David misplaces his glasses and keys. Head coach Boucher provided an unexpected anecdote about Rohit Sharma, revealing that despite his on-field dominance, Sharma is quite reserved when it comes to physical greetings, sometimes resulting in awkward hugs and handshakes.
F Fielding coach Pemment pointed to Ishan Kishan as the team’s reigning champion of pocket-dialing, due to his constant attachment to his phone. Boucher added that Kishan is also known for his infectious and often unexpected loud laughter that can catch everyone by surprise.
Finally, Pollard playfully teased Suryakumar Yadav for his struggles with autocorrect, often leading to humorous mishaps while texting.
